⚠️ Manual Movement Notice
This is a hand-wound mechanical movement—no batteries required.
- Turn the crown clockwise until you feel resistance
- Do not overwind
- Wind every 1–2 days for best performance
This daily ritual connects you to a centuries-old watchmaking tradition.
⏳ Mechanical vs. Quartz
- Mechanical: Manual-wind with no battery
- Quartz: Battery-powered and highly accurate
- Manual: Wind it to power it. Pure mechanics.
Mechanical watches are chosen for the soul and skill behind them—perfect for enthusiasts who value heritage and hands-on connection to timekeeping.

Conversation Starter!
I've been a big fan of Mr. Eatwell for quite some time and have most of his pieces, but the one that gets the most attention and praise from friends and stranger is my Carpal DM!! What an attention grabber with its beautiful dial and case. I always want to wear it at the expense of all the others I have.....it's a great problem to have.

Classic w/out the pretense
I love skeleton dials so this one just made sense. The beauty in the engineering at this price point made the Carpel DM an easy choice. Very happy with this piece.

Poetry in Skeletonized Motion
I took one look at this one and headed straight here. I have about 130 watches (after having passed along about 40 to one of my more entrepreneurial offspring to sell online), and refuse to play favorites, but hot dang on a skillet! this one captured my ticking heart after three tentative winds. I’d expressed to Matt my concern about legibility—in the past had bought a handful of skeletons until giving up—and he let me know that he had labored mightily to make this one a watch you can actually read. Rest assured, brother, you accomplished much more than that. This is a beauty! You can see every mechanical turn and whirr and still tell the time at a glance (I did my reading-glasses-off test and knew where the big hand and the little hand were, just like a grownup!); and it sparkles like a merry marvel. And it’s a see-through! I am smitten.

Carpal DM
This was my first purchase from Mr. Eatwell and it did not disappoint! A great addition to my watch collection and I look forward to adding more Mr. Eatwelll watches. Any questions I had regarding my purchase, even prior to ordering were prompt. I appreciated the communication.
